GRANTS

Atlas Network offers a variety of grant opportunities throughout the year. Prospective grantees should carefully review all opportunities and deadlines below to identify the best fit. For most opportunities, we invite your organization to first apply to become a partner if you are not already. We also highly favor organizations who participate in Atlas Leadership Academy -- learn more and enroll here -- and, in particular, those who have completed Think Tank Navigator, a free online course offered throughout the year within the Academy. Requests for general support or for purposes other than those listed should be submitted under the General Grants category. While Atlas Network is committed to championing all worthy efforts to advance liberty, grants are awarded on a highly competitive basis and in strict compliance with donor intent. Please review these guidelines for grant applications.

APPLICATION DEADLINES: March 1, June 1, September 1, December 1

This opportunity is designed for requests for project support (note that new organizations should make a request using the Think Tank Start Up Fund opportunity), or for purposes not found among the other grant opportunities offered by Atlas Network.

This opportunity offers support to think tanks internationally and in the United States with ambitious and achievable plans to improve the public policy and regulatory environment in their countries, particularly in relation to limits on enterprise and entrepreneurship as measured in the Doing Business Index.

Atlas Network invites its partners to participate in the Illiberalism Grant Program. This program is designed to help our partners who are working to combat the new authoritarianism and stop the rise of illiberal statist sentiment.

This program supports student groups and chapters of student groups in their efforts to achieve growth and effectiveness. Other organizations, such as think tanks, may also apply if they have substantial student-focused programming.

This year-long program offers U.S. and international participants a suite of grant support, training and competitive prizes to achieve high-impact online video production and marketing. Successful applicants will have a track record of producing video.
